I i L Applic:\tion filed March .6. 188d. Scrial Nol lOGJ-Zfi. (No syrcimcnsnr To dll whomit may concern: w

' Be it known that I, WILLIAM SOH[MMEL- PFENG,a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook, 5 State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Composition of Matter-an Incombustible V Gompound-of which the following isas'pecification. v

My invention relates to an article of com- 13 merce-an improved fire-proof compoundconsistingof matters of mineral properties combined with a chemical product and prepared either in liquid state for coating fabrics or materials, or as a plastic mass to be used as cemr 5 ent, or of solidified form in various shape as articles for ornament. I

lVIy composition, consists of the following ingredients, combined in the proportions stated,'viz: silicate of soda thirty parts;

' do fire-01a or silica en a umina wo partspnirr feral wool or sponge derived by process from uar z s )ecimen of minerals, fifteen parts; I ure wa er quantum sufi'ic'zi. lhese ingredients iravie' to be thoroughly mingled by agitation in thefollowing manner: The silicate of soda has to be brought by the action of heat to Emilipg-point, and when the evaporation sets in ure water is added in small quantities until a satisfactory state of liquid is attained, and while in that condition taken off from the fire and mixed with the above-stated quantity of fire-clay, which previously, as well as the mineral wool, has been reduced to fine pow- T5. Kfter fhisis perfect d the shill mineral wool is added, and after thorough mingling V these'ingredients an incgr n bgs t ibig l ignii is compounded which has to be'put up and safely kept in-suitable vessel, air and water tight, ready for the use of coating textile fab-- o rics or on building materials, especially to great advantage on iron structures of various PATENT. o ega: 1

- tion the compound diffuses and the flames have no chance to take hold on the material {or de liquid, as stated, the addition of u re water design, as the surface of the metal undergoes oxidation in contact with the mixture under influence of moistn re, and the coating hardens and adheres firmly, and in case of aconflagrastructionor damaging the same.

- Diiferent shades in the color of the liquid are obtained by mixing more or less parts of the stated 'quantitativeproportion of fire-clay,

which results in a darker or lighter pooring,

as may be desired. 1 In producing a plastic mass, instead of a has to be omitted, and the bulk can sense: as cement or molded in diverse form and shape, which soou'assumes a solidified condition. -5; I am aware-of the composition of mineral 6o i1 matters and chemical preparationstogether I to be used as incombustible compounds; but I am not aware of compounding such products invthe manner used for the purpose as described, nor the relative result of the aqueous fluid; therefore v What I clai|n, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

The herein-described composition of matters H to be used as afire-proofcompound,consisting of sili s or s i licate of mina. water, and mineral \vooi'oi"p6;jgfs?i1bl stantlally as describemamthvpi dportionsg asspecified. In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I havehereunto aifixed my signature I in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
